* Encode Symbols as special rows that can be referenced by models
If a symbol was extracted from Symbol.for(...) then we can reliably
recreate the same symbol on the client.
S123:"react.suspense"
M456:{mySymbol: '$123'}
This doesn't suffer from the XSS problem because you have to write actual
code to create one of these symbols. That problem is only a problem because
values pass through common other usages of JSON which are not secure.
Since React encodes its built-ins as symbols, we can now use them as long
as its props are serializable. Like Suspense.
* Refactor resolution to avoid memo hack
Going through createElement isn't quite equivalent for ref and key in props.
* Reuse symbol ids that have already been written earlier in the stream
* Refactor Flight to require a module reference to be brand checked
This exposes a host environment (bundler) specific hook to check if an
object is a module reference. This will be used so that they can be passed
directly into Flight without needing additional wrapper objects.
* Emit module references as a special type of value
We already have JSON and errors as special types of "rows". This encodes
module references as a special type of row value. This was always the
intention because it allows those values to be emitted first in the stream
so that as a large models stream down, we can start preloading as early
as possible.
We preload the module when they resolve but we lazily require them as they
are referenced.
* Emit module references where ever they occur
This emits module references where ever they occur. In blocks or even
directly in elements.
* Don't special case the root row
I originally did this so that a simple stream is also just plain JSON.
However, since we might want to emit things like modules before the root
module in the stream, this gets unnecessarily complicated. We could add
this back as a special case if it's the first byte written but meh.
* Update the protocol
* Add test for using a module reference as a client component
* Relax element type check
Since Flight now accepts a module reference as returned by any bundler
system, depending on the renderer running. We need to drastically relax
the check to include all of them. We can add more as we discover them.
* Move flow annotation
Seems like our compiler is not happy with stripping this.
* Some bookkeeping bug
* Can't use the private field to check
* Lazily initialize models as they're read intead of eagerly when received
This ensures that we don't spend CPU cycles processing models that we're
not going to end up rendering.
This model will also allow us to suspend during this initialization if
data is not yet available to satisfy the model.
* Refactoring carefully to ensure bundles still compile to something optimal
* Remove generic from Response
The root model needs to be cast at one point or another same as othe
chunks. So we can parameterize the read instead of the whole Response.
* Read roots from the 0 key of the map
The special case to read the root isn't worth the field and code.
* Store response on each Chunk
Instead of storing it on the data tuple which is kind of dynamic, we store
it on each Chunk. This uses more memory. Especially compared to just making
initializeBlock a closure, but overall is simpler.
* Rename private fields to underscores
Response objects are exposed.
* Encode server components as delayed references
This allows us to stream in server components one after another over the
wire. It also allows parallelizing their fetches and resuming only the
server component instead of the whole parent block.
This doesn't yet allow us to suspend deeper while waiting on this content
because we don't have "lazy elements".
* Enable prefer-const rule
Stylistically I don't like this but Closure Compiler takes advantage of
this information.
* Auto-fix lints
* Manually fix the remaining callsites
Originally the idea was to hide all suspending behind getters or proxies.
However, this has some issues with perf on hot code like React elements.
It also makes it too easy to accidentally access it the first time in an
effect or callback where things aren't allowed to suspend. Making it
an explicit method call avoids this issue.
All other suspending has moved to explicit lazy blocks (and soon elements).
The only thing remaining is the root. We could require the root to be an
element or block but that creates an unfortunate indirection unnecessarily.
Instead, I expose a readRoot method on the response. Typically we try to
avoid virtual dispatch but in this case, it's meant that you build
abstractions on top of a Flight response so passing it a round is useful.
* Add ReactFlightServerConfig intermediate
This just forwards to the stream version of Flight which is itself forked
between Node and W3C streams.
The dom-relay goes directly to the Relay config though which allows it to
avoid the stream part of Flight.
* Separate streaming protocol into the Stream config
* Split streaming parts into the ReactFlightServerConfigStream
This decouples it so that the Relay implementation doesn't have to encode
the JSON to strings. Instead it can be fed the values as JSON objects and
do its own encoding.
* Split FlightClient into a basic part and a stream part
Same split as the server.
* Expose lower level async hooks to Relay
This requires an external helper file that we'll wire up internally.
